Though Verizon would have you believe that Gingerbread is already rolling out to DROID 2 Globals around the world, Motorola is apparently riding a different train of thought entirely - according to a manager on their support forums, the update isn't quite ready yet.

I take it your phone doesn't work with Froyo and you want to switch to carrier with less coverage?

I'm fine with the update not coming out yet. I have no issues with my phone and I use the hell out of it. I just hope that when the update to Gingerbread does come out that it makes it even better.

No.. I want a Nexus phone. Whether its At&t, Sprint or T-Mo.. Vzw refuses to put a pure, clean, Google experience phone out. I'm tired of the lies and waiting game. Motoblur, sense and the rest of the skins are ugly and add "weight" to the os.

The skins are also the reason for SIX MONTH DELAYS for a simple update. My D2G was a replacement phone from Asurion. The og Droid 1 was a great pure google phone ... I had gingerbread on it in January. This D2G is so fucking buggy I hate it.

Yeah mrwirez is right I can't switch out of Verizon though

rick

I have the droid 2 g and im starting to have troubles with the touch screen but I think gingerbread would fix it do you know when it comes out for my phone?

rick

This is sum real bull what's the big ass difference in the droid x and the droid 2 that the update comes out later!

@Rick... My touch screen is a little buggy too. I have a hard time "pinching" open to make pictures and text larger. It gets bigger then goes right back to the original size.

The whole thing is just frustrating... Boot-loaders, Blur, Bugs, lack of timely updates AND Verizon in general [not the network].. I am getting the Nexus 3 wherever and whenever it shows up.

Screw Verizon and Motorola! my d2g is buggy as crap/non-existant updates. I will never buy another Motorola phone as long as I live...

How is your d2g buggy? Ever since the Gingerbread update mine has been fantastic. Battery life is way better, no more random self reboots, performs a lot quicker as well. If your phone is still acting crazy after the 2.3.4 update, maybe you should contact tech support since I know a lot of people with the same phone and love it even more since the update.

Ok... I downloaded gingerbread 607 leak just for the GB kernel. Now I'm running cyanogenmod 7.1 [cm4d2g]! I went from 236 system files to 89. No blur and double the battery. Yeah!!
